The US President Barack Obama has reportedly called Japanese PM via telephone Monday night to discuss the post-Kim situation in Korean Peninsula.

While both the dignitaries conferred the situation, Obama underlined US commitment to defend its close allies in the region including Japan.

He also laid stress on a stable Korean Peninsula and the whole region. The two leaders will continue to monitor the situation carefully.

On the other hand in a diplomatic move, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has offered help to the aggrieved North Korea expressing hope that the new leadership will take the country on its path to peace.

She urged the new leadership to work with the international community towards peace and security for the region.

As the North Korea is at present in a phase of national mourning, Hilary Clinton expressed concerns about the well-being of its people through this difficult time.

Meanwhile, body of the dear leader Kim Jong-Il was paraded before the mourners to pay homage. The heir Kim Jong-Un joined the mourners. The body of the leader was wrapped in a red blanket while his open head rested on a white pillow.

The mourning was observed nationally with sobbing mourners gathering at public places to offer their last respect to their beloved leader.
